Kane99 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I've only ever used a few distributions of Linux, which are just operating systems. I have used mostly Ubuntu and flavors of it like Xubuntu, Kubuntu and a few other Linux distros. But I haven't used any that are geared more towards gaming. I wouldn't mind dual booting my Windows 10 PC with a Linux distro that is made for gaming. Do you guys know any good ones more geared towards video games? I would say Ubuntu, but even that has some limitations from the last time I used it. Is there anything made specifically for gamers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamarr the strelok Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 I'm currently on Mint. I've tried so called gaming linuxes (pop os and manjaro) to try to get ubi connect to work with no luck.I can't really tell the difference as far as a gaming os goes.They mostly work ok but EA app and ubi connect I can't get to work on any of them.By all means, try other ones I'm fairly certain you're smarter than me. I really like Manjaro but I get around better on Linux. killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What made you settle on Mint as your choice? Have you ever tried Qubes OS? It's been recommended to me by some Linux users I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamarr the strelok Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 (edited) Mint was my first time really jumping into Linux. It's been 4 years and I just got Ubi connect to work on it so I'm basically Windows free sorta. It took a couple weeks but then I just simply like doing stuff on Linux more than on windows. Havn't tried Qubes but have tried Manjaro,Pop os,Zorin and one other I can't remember. They're all a little different but I still prefer Mint. Especially with games it is a bit more to do. Mostly just downloading proton stuff.I have meh internet so it sorta sucks but well worth it.Mint has a very good forum for help too so that helped me greatly in the beginning.

Lens Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 It is very true that Linux gaming distros have come a long way. Ubuntu GamePack and SteamOS are also great options. But in my opinion, Lubuntu Game Edition deserves more attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Button Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 I’m in agreement with your point about Lubuntu Game Edition. But you don't mention Manjaro Gaming Edition. It also offers a more user-friendly experience and automatic driver installation. This is what makes it perfect for newcomers to Linux gaming.
